make cleandir won't help. re-running config will.

The opt_XXX.h files are the defopt files. It used to be that everything
was a -D option passed on the cc command line. Now kernel builds include
opt_XXX.h files which include these defenitions. The idea is that make
depend will add the opt_ files as dependencies, so when you change a
configuration defenition, the right .o's (and only them) will get rebuilt.

Take care,
